Issy Anderson was only trying to do her job when she got bombarded with nasty comments from online trolls earlier this year.
Shrewton United Football Club posted Anderson about how she was their newest member of staff.
It was just an innocent video of her showing her at work with players.
Unfortunately, comments about Issy Anderson’s appearance flooded the comment section, and the club supported her and quickly deleted the post.
Things posted on social media never truly go away, and that video is going viral yet again.

Issy Anderson Called For Change After Online Abuse From Video
Shrewton United FC, which plays in the Wiltshire Senior League, stated that their new team member had been harassed and subjected to “harmful comments” following their post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Issy Anderson was shown during her job but got bombarded with comments about her body that the club called, “absolutely shameful”.
It said: “It’s disappointing to have read so many harmful comments towards our newest member of the team and we won’t allow her to be subjected to such vile comments.
“Football is a game for everyone.”
Issy Anderson also spoke out, saying: “If more people speak out about [abusive] comments, hopefully, more clubs will call out this behavior.”
“The day after the post, my phone was just going completely crazy, just lighting up all the time: I got about 1.2 million views,” she told BBC Wiltshire.
“I almost felt like I didn’t want to be here because everyone had seen it [the social media posts] and I felt people were looking at me and I just wanted to get on with the job I love.”
She said it was “comforting how the club dealt with it straightaway.”
